Overview

Harmonic ProStream™ 2000 is a multi-service HD and SD MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) digital

splicer. It supports real-time and seamless splicing of multiple compressed video and audio

services for ad insertion applications.

Based on open standards, the IP-based ProStream 2000 is fully integrated with Harmonic’s

DiviCom® Electra™ encoders, ProStream 1000™ stream processing platform, DiviTrack IP™

distributed statistical multiplexer, and the NMX Digital Service Manager™, as well as the

CLEARcut™ ad pre-conditioning solution and the StreamLiner® ad server.

The ProStream 2000 is the industry’s first splicer to feature multi-channel and multi-service

capabilities within a compact 1-RU chassis, and support multiple SD or HD streams. Unlike

other splicing solutions, the ProStream 2000 does not degrade video quality. As a result,

operators can more effectively insert national or local ads in the digital stream.

The ProStream 2000’s density and versatility make it possible for operators to reduce cost

per channel with a scalable and distributed architecture, and to better take advantage of

incremental opportunities with digital ad insertion as they launch new SD and HD services.

Initial Device Configuration

This chapter describes how to set initial configuration parameters to the ProStream 2000

device, depending on the control mode of the device.

3.1 Initial Configuration in NMX control mode

The ProStream 2000 unit ships with the BOOT program pre-configured as follows for

operation under NMX:

BOOTP enable — allows NMX to automatically assign a valid IP address by NMX.

BOOTP time-out — (5 seconds) the period of time during which the device sends BOOTP

requests.

NOTE: Your device’s MAC address is on the Sun Fire server, typically on a sticker, or included with the

system documentation. Use this system address when setting up your system in NMX.

Follow these steps to configure a ProStream 2000 device in an NMX managed network:

1. Power-down your ProStream server.

2. Launch NMX.

3. Activate a map. Right-click on the map area, choose Create Physical Device > Prostream.

4. Click on the map to drop the device onto it.

5. The Create Object window automatically opens. At the top, click the down button to open

the drop-down list, and choose ProStream 2000 - Splicer.

Figure 3–1: Create Object: complete properties

6. Complete the list of properties. (The bold-faced items are read-only, or are set by NMX.)

Specify a name, description, and identification number that will help you identify

this device. The Prostream name that is configured on NMX must match the splicer

name configured on the ad server. The Identification number is what will appear in

the Device Inventory Report.

In Service is always True if the device is discovered by NMX.

Under Physical Addresses, specify the IP and MAC addresses, subnet mask, and

default gateway.

NOTE: Your device’s MAC address and the ALOM MAC address must match the addressees that the Sun

Fire server gives you. They are specified on stickers on the device, or included with the system

documentation. Use this system address when setting up your system in NMX.

Advanced properties: Choose the desired software version.

NOTE: If you are configuring your first ProStream 2000 device, you could get an NMX error message

here:

“ You do not have the necessary ProStream 2000 packages installed for the selected software

version. Insert the ProStream 2000 Companion CD. If it does not start and install

automatically, run the ps2k.bat file.” After you do install, refresh the software version and continue

with the install process.

Under ALOM Address, be sure to fill in IP and MAC addresses, subnet mask, and

default gateway. These will be essential for troubleshooting later.

Chapter 3 Initial Device Configuration Initial Configuration in NMX control mode

In the properties page, configure the primary channel network address. Only one port

is active at a given time. During a redundancy switch, the primary data port IP

address will be carried over to the backup data port.

For more information about fields on the site property page, see the online help.

NOTE: For more details about using NMX, refer to the NMX Installation and Startup Guide or the NMX

Online help.

9. Reboot the ProStream 2000 unit, using the button on the front of the device. See

Figure 1–3.

ProStream 2000 broadcasts a BOOTP request. NMX recognizes the ProStream 2000

device according to its physical address and assigns it the following:

IP properties, as configured

Firmware file path

If the required firmware version matches the version that is currently stored on the

hard disk of the device, the device uses the locally stored version to complete the

boot process.

If the required firmware version does not match the version that is currently stored on

the hard disk of the device, the device downloads the updated version and

completes the boot process.

If ProStream 2000 does not receive a BOOTP response from NMX after the first

attempt, it will send additional requests, up to 4 BOOTP requests. The following table

lists faults that may occur during initial configuration and the ensuing consequences:

Fault Consequence

No BOOTP response ProStream 2000 reboots with its previous

IP settings and firmware version. In case of

a new device, it boots up with the factory

settings.
